When people keep telling you that you can't do a thing, you kind of like to try it. Nature provides exceptions to every rule. It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods. If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it. I am suffocated and lost when I have not the bright feeling of progression. Beware of over-great pleasure in being popular or even beloved. Art can only be truly art by presenting an adequate outward symbol of some fact in the interior life. |
